558- For the Fruits of His Creation
Christian Life: Thankfulness
1
- For the fruits of His creation, thanks be to God;
- For the gifts to every nation, thanks be to god;
- For the plowing, sowing, reaping,
- Silent growth while men are sleeping,
- Future needs in earth's safe keeping, thanks be to God!
2
- In the just reward of labor, God's will is done;
- In the help we give our neighbor, God's will is done;
- In our world-wide task of caring
- For the hungry and despairing,
- In the harvests men are sharing, God's will is done.
3
- For the harvests of His Spirit, thanks be to God;
- For the good all men inherit, thanks be to God;
- For the wonders that astound us,
- For the truths that still confound us,
- Most of all, that love has found us, thanks be to God!
